It turns out I'm a second-generation demon.

Chapter 101 The Peak Successor of the Li Family

"Let me go, let me go, you bunch of scum..."

"A scholar can be killed but not humiliated. Kill me, I don't want to live like this anymore."

The man's roars and curses echoed in the small room.

Who is it? It's so noisy! Can't a person get any sleep?

When Li Xianyu woke up, he was stunned when he saw the scene in front of him. His first reaction was that he had entered the memories of the demon path again.

He appeared in a very "old" house, where everything from the furniture to the decor exuded a sense of the times. First of all, there was the bed, a Western-style bed that was very popular more than 20 years ago, before Simmons mattresses existed.

Secondly, there's the furniture. The solid wood furniture is brand new and clean, but the style is very old-fashioned.

Finally, several black-and-white photographs hung on the wall. The beautiful women in the photos were wearing school uniforms from the Republican era: a light blue jacket and a black ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress). They had their hair tied in two pigtails that hung down in front of their chests.

Li Xianyu nodded to himself. Look at this era, it's definitely the era of the Demonic Path.

But what's with this naked man on the bed? His hands and feet are shackled to the bed, his handsome face contorted in rage as he roars and struggles.

Li Xianyu heard the sound of a door opening behind him, turned around and saw a beautiful woman in a cheongsam, with a pretty face and graceful steps.

"Young Master Li." The woman in the cheongsam bowed, her voice so soothing and gentle that it made one feel weak all over and slightly intoxicated.

That accent... it's a heavy Qing dialect.

Li Xianyu was able to tell because You Mengyu's Mandarin pronunciation carried a strong sense of sentimentality.

"And who are you?" the man asked angrily.

"The Shen family, Shen Rou." The young woman's voice was soft and gentle. She sighed, "Young Master Li, please don't be angry. Things have come to this, why bother? You can't break free from these Qian Yuan shackles."

"Shameless scoundrels!" the man roared. "You vile women have insulted my innocence, ruined my reputation, and imprisoned me here, feasting and drinking every day. I am a scholar; how can I endure such humiliation?"

"Even if I die, I will bite my tongue and commit suicide rather than do anything shameful with you."

He started cursing incessantly, his expression pained.

The woman in the cheongsam sighed softly, then lit a black incense stick. Wisps of smoke drifted in the air, filling the room with a sweet, cloying scent.

A few minutes later, the man's cursing gradually subsided, turning into rapid breathing, his face flushed, and his eyes glazed over.

Li Xianyu: "???"

He thought to himself, "Something's not right. Where is the evil Taoist priest? Where did he go?"

I've never seen this scene before, but why does it feel so familiar?

The scene in the room began to blur at this point; Li Xianyu could only vaguely see the woman sitting on the edge of the bed and beginning to undress.

He regained consciousness and woke up in a hospital room. A wave of weakness washed over him. He propped himself up and looked around the room; it was empty.

There should be another patient in the bed next door; the blankets are messy, and the person is nowhere to be found.

The sound of a toilet flushing came from the bathroom, and then the door opened, revealing Liu Kongchao, dressed in a hospital gown, looking refreshed.

Li Xianyu smelled a burning odor: "What did you burn in the toilet?"

"Burn paper towels."

This is in accordance with the national policy on state funerals... Li Xianyu didn't ask any more questions, "Where are we?"

"Baoze is in the Chongqing branch office building," Liu Kongchao said. "You're finally awake! You've been asleep for two days. Tsk tsk, should I call you brother or Grandpa Li?"

Li Xianyu touched his face; it was withered and shriveled, and he still hadn't responded.

Upon learning that Li Xianyu had woken up, everyone rushed to visit him. The first to arrive was Thunder War Maiden; her long legs certainly had their advantages. She was wearing a hospital gown and looked pale. After seeing that Li Xianyu was indeed alright, the mixed-race beauty finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then Xia Xiaoxue and You Mengyu ran in, "Wow, the successor of the Ultimate Path, you're awake!"

They were both wearing hospital gowns and had bandages wrapped around their bodies; they looked rather pitiful.

The great-grandmother, with the air of a true master, finished the show with a mouthful of potato chip crumbs, patting her great-grandson on the shoulder: "In the few days I was away, your progress has impressed me greatly."

He casually wiped the potato chip crumbs off his fingers onto Li Xianyu's clothes.

Suddenly, the ward was surrounded by beautiful women, and the other man besides himself seemed out of place.

"What about 'three no's'?"

Not seeing the humanoid mocking machine, Li Xianyu became a little anxious.

"She's still unconscious and lying in bed," Thunder Warrior said, "but her life isn't in danger, don't worry."

"I was unconscious for two days?" Li Xianyu lay there, feeling extremely weak and powerless.

This doesn't make sense. With his self-healing abilities, even if he died once, he would wake up after one night and be able to get out of bed and walk within 24 hours. Although his injuries were more severe this time, they couldn't possibly be worse than death.

"Forget about the War Maiden, I at least artificially fed her blood. Why is You Mengyu alive and kicking? And what's wrong with her face?" Li Xianyu said.

You Mengyu has transformed into an adorable and delicate beauty, with a face full of collagen, fair skin, and a sickly beauty's tenderness even while wearing a hospital gown.

Li Xianyu felt this was very unreasonable.

Why does he still look like an eighty-year-old man?

Several women either looked around nervously or stammered, their reactions strange.

Liu Kongchao demonstrated his prowess in being single for 22 years: "While you were unconscious, they drew several vials of your blood. Strangely enough, every time they drew blood, you, who were originally recovering, aged rapidly..."

The four women all stared at him with murderous intent.

Liu Kongchao shrank back, crawled back into the hospital bed, and pulled the blanket over his head.

Li Xianyu: "!!"

"Mmm..." You Mengyu breathed out softly from her small mouth: "That fierce look in your eyes sends chills down your spine."

"We didn't take your blood for nothing. I traded it to your great-grandmother with imported snacks," Xia Xiaoxue explained.

Grandma glared at the outspoken girl, then guiltily pulled out a piece of imported chocolate: "Here's one for you too."

Li Xianyu: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

Li Xianyu refused the chocolate, saying, "You're not my milk, go away."

His great-grandmother rubbed his head vigorously, her little brows furrowed, and coaxed him like a child, "I'll give you half."

You Mengyu and the others stared at the grandfather and grandson in astonishment, feeling that their way of getting along was a bit strange.

Thunder War Maiden coughed: "I don't think it matters whether your little secret is kept secret or not, because since yesterday, the news that you are a descendant of the Li family has spread throughout the Bloodline Realm. In the past two days, you and Li Peiyun have taken turns making headlines in the Bloodline Realm. Li Peiyun is the descendant of the Demon Path. His identity has been exposed. He was originally the eldest son of a small family in Jiangnan, but he was expelled from the family ten years ago."

The great-grandmother continued, "Moreover, I have already subdued all the major families. Before the Pantheon opens, they won't easily cause you trouble. As for those who are determined to deal with you, there's nothing we can do to stop them. Your identity is a secret to most people, but it's not a secret to a small group of people."

Li Xianyu recalled his life of being monitored and protected for the past twenty years.

His great-grandmother gently hugged his head: "I am delighted by your progress. Although you started late, you are still a bright child."

Li Xianyu's head enjoyed an immense benefit, the soft and warm touch was something he couldn't explain to outsiders.

Grandma is fiercer than War Maiden.

"Have the remnants of the Ancient God Cult caught up?" Li Xianyu asked.

"The Ape God is tracking us," You Mengyu said.

"Why didn't Great-Grandma kill him?" Li Xianyu looked up at his Great-Grandma.

The warm breath, through the thin T-shirt, sprayed onto her chest, causing goosebumps to rise on the back of her hand. She silently pushed Li Xianyu's head away.

"That junior is very capable. Don't be fooled by how he keeps getting beaten up; he's ranked 15th on the bloodline list, so he must have ways to protect himself. It's easy to injure him, but it's very difficult to kill him," the great-grandmother said.

With that, the great-grandmother glanced at the girls and said, "You all go back and don't disturb my grandson's rest."

You Mengyu said, "Let me stay a little longer. There are two annoying guys in my hospital room. Let me hide here."

"That annoying guy?"

Xia Xiaoxue explained, "They are her two suitors, both from renowned aristocratic families who value love above all else."

The most prestigious family in Chongqing is the Shen family, which ranks among the top seven surnames. Other families, no matter how famous they are, are only at the provincial level. Once they leave their own territory, their fame and prestige drop sharply.

You Mengyu sighed and said, "My father worked hard to build this family business, and he intends for me to marry into a powerful family. Although I am unwilling, I cannot disobey my father's orders. As a daughter, even if I have a heart that yearns for freedom, I cannot actually take action."

Li Xianyu was deeply suspicious. He guessed that You Mengyu was enjoying the unfortunate experience of being forced into marriage by her father. A masochist could always keenly find a way to improve in life.

Thunder Maiden said, "Then let's choose one, since you don't care anyway."

You Mengyu replied dismissively, "They're all good, I don't know how to choose."

Xia Xiaoxue suggested, "Let's take our time and not rush it."

While Thunder War Maiden was chatting with the two little girls, he tugged at his great-grandmother's hand, gesturing for her to come closer: "Great-grandmother, I think I saw your third boyfriend."

Yes, that ancestor who didn't appreciate his good fortune.

The great-grandmother was taken aback, then her face showed a look of sudden realization. A complex expression, neither sadness nor anger, appeared on her face: "I was chatting with this young girl just now, and when I heard that she was from the Shen family, I remembered the past."

Li Xianyu occasionally sees his great-grandmother's past memories through the Spirit Pearl, which is proof of the fusion of their spirits and bodies.

"You Mengyu is from the Shen family?" He widened his eyes and glared angrily at the masochist.

Keep writing, I'll check back tomorrow.
